The inspiring Guest Detectives from the 2Crafty design team rocked the Case. 


Here's how Marie solved the Case: Evidence: Diamonds, Gingham check, Stripes, Wood, Hearts, Leaves, Straws, Flowers, Cursive Font, Tulle, Ribbon. Topic : The photo of two lovers. Inspiration words : love. The colors of the moodboard. My photo was in black and white I brought color with photo software! My blog link : https://scrapdetoi.blogspot.com



The CSI design team masterfully cracked the Case. We'll share how they solved the Case on Facebook.

And here's some inspiration for our stash-busting Cold Case File. 








Note from Debbi: I was inspired by Lisa Moen's brilliant page, which was inspired by our wonderful Case File image. I made this layout Bramble Fox DT work because that "Love" Perspextive from the February Fox Box fit just perfectly inside that 2Crafty circle and I felt like it was just meant to be. I further used some of the Bramble Fox Valentine Hearts Perspextives and a tag from their Fox Dies #6.


CASE FILE CLUES 

Choose as many or as few as you are inspired to use! You don't have to use all of the categories of clues. use what inspires you, or challenge yourself to use as many clues as you can. Or just use the image to inspire you as you wish!
